Agilent Achieves Breakthrough in Ultra-Trace Detection of PFAS and Microplastics in Drinking Water
Agilent Technologies Inc. and the University of Melbourne have announced new scientific research results through the launch of the Agilent Innovation Hub at the ALEC research facility. The collaboration, led by Associate Professor Brad Clarke, has achieved world-class breakthroughs in the detection of contaminants such as synthetic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and microplastics in drinking water. Utilizing advanced technologies including the 6495C Triple Quad LC and LDIR systems, researchers have reached ultra-trace detection levels, enabling quantitation of pollutants at parts per quadrillion (PPQ). These results mark a significant advancement in environmental research and population health in Australia. The announcement reflects ongoing research efforts and does not indicate if the results have already been presented at a scientific conference or will be in the future.
